Staff were nice and helpful, our ride stopped across the hotel entrance, and the bellboy already came over to us to help with our luggage. They allowed us to check in early when the room became available. The location was perfect, everything you need is nearby. You can even walk to some major attractions, very impressive. Room is super clean and spacious. Mini fridge available. The slippers they provided in the room are very comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and has a bathtub, they have bath salt for you. Nice hotel overall, would recommend.

Clean room, helpful staff. No airport shuttle available. The Executive Single Room had a single plug tucked all the way behind the bed. You’ll have to climb up the bed every time you need to use it, and you can only charge one device at a time, which is quite inconvenient for a traveller. This detail would have improved my experience here.
